Deformation Analysis of Laterally Loaded Bucket Foundation of Offshore Wind Turbines Using HSS Model
Offshore wind energy developed very fast in the past decades in China, and the bucket foundation is a typical foundation type in the area with shallow bedrocks. The deformation of the bucket foundation is anal...

Inferred Winkler model for uplift response of suction caisson in undrained clays
Suction caisson jackets are promising foundation solutions for offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in deep water. The resistance of such a foundation against overturning actions depends on the uplift response of ind...

Metabolic Profiles Associated with Opioid Use and Opioid Use Disorder: a Narrative Review of the Literature
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic, relapsing condition that is epidemic in the USA. OUD is associated with serious adverse consequences, including higher incarceration rates, impaired medical and mental h...

Constitutive modeling of cyclically loaded clays with entrapped gas bubbles under undrained and unexhausted conditions
Fine-grained gassy marine sediments are widely distributed around the world, and the cyclic behavior of this type of sediments has a great influence on the foundations of offshore structures. However, in previ...

Experimental and modeling study of water-retention behavior of fine-grained soils with dual-porosity structures
Dual-porosity structures of fine-grained soils can noticeably affect their ability to retain water. This work jointly employs axis translation technique, filter paper method, and vapor equilibrium technique to...

Elastic shear stiffness anisotropy and fabric anisotropy of natural clays
Natural clays usually show anisotropic stiffness due to their deposition process and anisotropic in situ stress state. The stiffness anisotropy depends on both of the stress anisotropy and fabric anisotropy, w...

Constitutive modeling of three-dimensional non-coaxial characteristics of clay
A simple critical state-based constitutive model is proposed to represent the non-coaxial plastic deformations of saturated clay subjected to monotonic shearing with fixed principal stress directions. While ex...

Mortality salience impairs self-referential processing: Neurophysiological and behavioral evidence
Although recent research has suggested that reminders of mortality may increase behaviors and cognitions associated with esca** the self, this notion has not been directly tested. The current work provides e...

Open AccessTrait self-esteem and neural activities related to self-evaluation and social feedback
Self-esteem has been associated with neural responses to self-reflection and attitude toward social feedback but in different brain regions. The distinct associations might arise from different tasks or task-r...

Differential neural activation to friends and strangers links interdependence to empathy
Two competing views implicate interdependence in empathy. One suggests that interdependence may generally enhance empathy (Woltin et al., British Journal of Social Psychology 50:553–562, 2011), whereas another...
